The Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Framework is the Victorian Government’s overarching framework for working with Aboriginal Victorians, organisations and the wider community to drive action and improve outcomes.
The framework sets a clear direction for how government will ‘Plan’, ‘Act’, ‘Measure’ and ‘Evaluate’ to progress change across government, address inequity and deliver stronger outcomes for and with Aboriginal Victorians.
The framework was originally due to expire in 2023 and was then extended to 2025. The VAAF has now been extended to June 2028 to include minor updates.
Please note: an updated PDF version will be available in due course.
Introduction
Artists statements, message from the Premier and Minister.
Plan
The goals, objectives, measures and self-determination guiding principles and actions within the VAAF set a clear direction for how government will plan, act, measure and evaluate.
Act
Self-determination is the guiding principle in Aboriginal affairs. Aboriginal self-determination underpinned the development of the VAAF, as it will underpin all future action across Victoria.
Measure
The VAAF brings together a comprehensive set of data that can help community hold government to account on whether our combined efforts are improving the lives of Aboriginal Victorians.
Evaluate
This sets out how Government and government-funded organisations will be held to account for delivering services that meet the needs of communities.
